I am using Phased Array L-Band SAR imagery in conjunction with optical data to improve land cover classification of a complex urban environment. Can someone please suggest most appropriate SAR imaging technique(s) for this scenario?
You may consider image enhancement methods and texture analysis to aid your clasification. I would also recommend if you can obtain this book titled 'Radar Remote Sensing of Urban Areas' by Soergel Uwe, year 2010. It addresses several issues
@Mustafa: Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I intend to enhance land cover classification accuracy through the synergistic use of optical and radar data. Nevertheless, I have not checked TerraSAR-X data for this purpose. I was more interested to know about SAR imaging technique(s) which are appropriate for PALSAR data pertaining to land cover classification.
